The short answer
Six travel eSIMs sell a Turkey plan and get most of the traffic for this search. I priced all six on the same day, for the trips people book to Istanbul, Cappadocia and the coast, and I read the fine print on unlimited. Here is where each one wins.
Unlimited data at full speed for 2 weeks at $16.99 or 30 days at $26.99, nothing renews. Airalo asks $24.50 for one week and $69 for the month.
10 GB for 30 days at $13, on sale on its own site today against $15 regular. 20 GB is $20.
10 GB for 30 days at $13 on Türk Telekom and Turkcell. Its app and site do not open from inside Turkey, so install before you fly.
Days, not gigabytes, and no daily cap stated for your own phone. $27.50 for a week. Sharing the connection is limited to 1 GB a day.
Prices read on 10 November 2026: Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi on their own sites or listings, Ringo Light from its catalogue. All in US dollars unless stated. Treat every number as a snapshot.

The prices, charted
US dollars, 10 November 2026. Ringo Light sells 2 weeks and Nomad 5 days, so those are the nearest lengths.
The 30-day unlimited plan at each brand. Nomad sells no 30-day unlimited for Turkey. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed.
The bucket most people buy for a two-week holiday. Holafly sells no buckets. Ringo Light sells no bucket either: its 2 weeks is unlimited and lasts 2 weeks, not 30 days.

We sell data eSIMs for now to fund the full Ringo service. Ringo is self funded. Every plan bought here pays for the build of one plan that works everywhere.
Want to keep your own number abroad?
That is the full Ringo service: one plan that works everywhere, with your own number included.
It is a separate product from Ringo Light and it is still being built, so it is not on sale yet. Join the waitlist to hear when it opens.
What to do in Turkey, and what your phone needs for it
Eight places most first trips include, from Istanbul to Cappadocia and down the Aegean and Turquoise coasts, with the one thing your data does for you at each.
If you want unlimited for a week or more: Ringo Light
Unlimited is where the prices split, and it is where I would start. Airalo and Holafly charge $24.50 and $27.50 for a week in Turkey, and Airalo, Saily and Holafly $69 to $73.90 for a month. Ringo Light charges $16.99 for 2 weeks and $26.99 for 30 days, nothing renews. For a short trip, Ringo Light sells 3 days of unlimited data at $8.99, against $11.50 at Airalo and $11.90 at Holafly.
I read what unlimited means before I compare prices, and you should too. Airalo gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps until the next day. Saily and Ubigi give 5 GB a day. Nomad gives 2 GB a day. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed for 2 weeks or 30 days.
If you want a data bucket: Nomad or Ubigi
- Nomad, $13 for 10 GB. Cheapest 10 GB in the table, tied with Ubigi, at its sale price today ($15 regular). 20 GB is $20. Add-ons top it up.
- Ubigi, $13 for 10 GB. Same price, on Türk Telekom and Turkcell with 5G. One catch: the Ubigi app and site do not open from inside Turkey, so buy and install before you land.
- Airalo, $15.50 for 10 GB. The biggest name, a 1 GB plan from $4, and its Merhaba plan rides Türk Telekom. Refunds for a wrong purchase come back as Airmoney credit, not cash.
- Saily, $15.99 for 10 GB. Cleanest app of the five, and a 20 GB bucket at $22.99. You pay for the app and the Nord account.
- ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. Ringo Light's 2 weeks is unlimited for $16.99 and its 30 days unlimited for $26.99. If you need 10 GB to last a whole month, Nomad or Ubigi at $13 is the better buy, and Nomad sells 20 GB at $20, $6.99 under Ringo Light's 30 days. I would rather you read that here than at checkout.
What Ringo Light is
I write for Ringo, so you should know that Ringo Light is its own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Turkey it sells three trips, all unlimited data at full speed: 3 days at $8.99, 2 weeks at $16.99 and 30 days at $26.99. Nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
I put the card to buy it further up this page, just after the side-by-side table.
Pick by trip
Ringo Light unlimited, 3 days, $8.99, against $11.50 at Airalo; its 2 weeks is $16.99 if the trip might run longer.
Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $16.99, less than any rival charges for one week. Holafly at $27.50 if you want a stated no-cap plan for heavy streaming.
Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $16.99, or Nomad or Ubigi 10 GB for 30 days at $13. A cent apart. I would take Ringo Light for unlimited and the other two for data that lasts longer.
Ringo Light unlimited, 30 days, $26.99, or Ubigi at $64 if you want its stated 5 GB a day at full speed.
None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.
